Motorola unveiled a trio of new handsets today: the Droid RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD, and RAZR M (too much caps lock, Motorola!). While the first two focus on large 4.7" HD displays, the latter is all about packing as much display possible into a small shell.

Specs:

4.3" 540x960 display with "almost no borders" (is this the bezel-less device that we've been hearing about? Let's hope not) and Gorilla Glass

1.5GHz dual-core processor

1GB RAM

8GB storage, microSD card slot

4G LTE connectivity

8MP rear shooter

NFC

60.9 x 122.5 x 8.3; 126g

2000mAbh battery

Android 4.0.x

While we would like to say this device is shipping with Jelly Bean, Motorola stated that it will be updated "by the end of the year," so... sometime within the next four months. Cool.

As shown above, the RAZR M will be available in both white and black, and for those who like their bootloaders unlocked, there will also be a Developer Edition RAZR M available.

The RAZR M will be available for pre-order later today, and arrive in-stores "next week" for $99. For more info, check out VZW's RAZR landing page.

All the Power, Battery Life and Cool Design of DROID RAZR™ with the Speed of 4G LTE Three Times Over

All three devices offer the power and reliability that customers have come to expect from Motorola and Verizon Wireless. DROID devices give customers speed, power and revolutionary technology, while the RAZR design delivers a thin, compact device built with strong, top-of-the-line materials and long-lasting battery life. The new smartphones are powered by the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network, giving customers the capability to simultaneously talk and browse the Web and also access the blazingly fast speeds that cover more than 75 percent of the U.S. population. With three brand new options, this lineup has something for everyone.

DROID RAZR M: The Full-Screen Phone

DROID RAZR M is an unbelievably compact smartphone that puts the world in the palm of your hand with an edge-to-edge 4.3-inch Super AMOLED™ Advanced display. Customers will be amazed with the DROID RAZR M’s design, which is significantly shorter and narrower than the original DROID RAZR, yet includes the same size display, making it the most compact 4.3-inch 4G LTE smartphone.

DROID RAZR HD: Performance and Power

Building on the DROID RAZR legacy, the new DROID RAZR HD expands the innovation with a new 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display that allows movies, photos, magazines and even websites to appear with vivid clarity. DROID RAZR HD provides customers with 78 percent more pixels for a more vibrant display and features 40 percent greater battery capacity than the original DROID RAZR.

The viewdini app is at its best with the HD display and 4G LTE speeds to watch movies, television shows and other video content. Viewdini brings the power of Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network to the screen by streamlining access to videos from a wide range of content providers, including cable operators, websites and other popular video sources. The viewdini app can be downloaded from Google Play.

DROID RAZR MAXX HD: Long Live the Battery

Packed with the same leading features as DROID RAZR HD, the DROID RAZR MAXX HD raises the industry standard for battery life with 32 hours of normal use.

Why are we steal releasing phones with ICS? You don't see laptops coming out with Windows Vista. This is just stupid. I'm sure there is a reasoning behind it but c'mon, if it means holding release for a bit longer then do it.

You don't see laptops with Vista because Windows 7 came out 3 years ago. Jelly Bean came out two months ago, at which point, this phone was near the final stages of development, if not in the post-development testing phase. To put Jelly Bean on it at release, Motorola would have either had to half-ass the software, or they would have to delay the release. As long as they keep their promise to update in the next few months, it's perfectly acceptable for this to be released with ICS.

I'm guessing the unlocked GSM version will be $550 (same price as the developer version). This thing is really appealing to me, but I don't know if I want to pay that much.
